This home is absolutely fabulous!! It is very clean, comfortable and has a great location to everything Galveston! We loved the architecture of the home and the quiet of the neighborhood. The backyard was lovely and fun to hang out in. Communication with the hosts was wonderful. Being able to bring our fur babies was a huge bonus. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return again ourselves.

This is the most wonderful home in every way! The decor is very nice. The house is clean and well stocked. We sat on the front and back porch while there and enjoyed it! We hope to come back as it was one of nicest houses we have stayed in Galveston. Location is good and it’s quiet. Highly recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Girndt

Host profile image
We love the island life! We are blessed with a beautiful family, career and now this awesome beach home. We work really hard, so we can play really hard. We love to have family time, travel, and fish. We purchased this house to share with lots of family and friends and hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do. Our goal is for all of our guests to sit back, relax and love Galveston as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love the beach, love to fish, and most of all we love family time! Therefore, with Galveston only one hour away, we all decided this was the perfect place. Galveston has so much history, charm, GREAT restaurants, shopping and so much more to see and do that you can easily spend a week here and never run out of things to do. It also has the world's longest continuous sidewalk which attracts walkers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters and many more activities. So, if you like to be active, it's a great place or, if you prefer to relax, just grab a good book and enjoy the beach! We wanted to allow others to enjoy Galveston and our home as much as we do; therefore, we designed and furnished our home with comfort and entertainment in mind. Consequently, it's not just a vacation rental, it's a vacation home! Seaside Delight has been fully renovated with all new appliances, remodeled bathrooms, refinished floors and great bedrooms. With a large private deck and backyard. It is like a brand new home, but maintains the charming, historic cottage look and feel of the early 1900's.

What makes this property unique

Seaside Delight is just that. A delightful home for your vacation. Close to the Pleasure Pier, the historic Strand and just 5 blocks to the beach! For parking ease, we have a long driveway with access from the front of the house. You can easily park your boat or 4 large vehicles without relying on street parking. If you like entertaining outdoors you will love our backyard retreat with a privacy fence, large deck and plenty of seating areas.
